    In reply to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Dated For Japan
    Well guy's, looks like Peace Walker will be hitting the 2010. Not hitting Japan IN 2010, hitting the 2010.

    In all seriousness, this is pretty cool. Hopefully North America won't be too far behind.

    Unlike Portable Ops, with Hideo Kojima on board, this game is every bit cinematic like its console counterpart. Compared to this, Portable Ops is like a condensed version of an MGS mini game.

    And can you believe the graphics in this game?

    @rich8606: All the graphics in the world wont matter if the controls are as bad as portable ops, maybe because it was my first time using a psp and I wasnt used to the machine, but I simply couldnt play that game.

    @Blore07: Portable Ops controls suck, Peace Walker however, controls like MGS4. The face buttons replaces the right analogue stick for camera controls, you aim with L button, and attack/shoot/CQC with the R button. you didn't play the IGN demo?

    @rich8606: Blore07: Ye realise that you can essentially use the same control scheme that Peace Walker uses in Portable Ops, right?

    After playing the Peace Walker demo, I did just that and discovered just how fun of a game Portable Ops was. try it.

    Also, while Peace Walker looks great, I don't think you can say Portable Ops looks much worse.

    Really? I actually liked the controls. I'm not really liking the way PW controls. The way you aim is soooo freaking slow because you use the face buttons to aim instead of the stick.

    @rich8606: The controls in Peach Walker suck. Trying to aim with buttons is hell since they are not analog/pressure sensitive.

    Not to mention the lac of crawling along the floor hiding under stuff and more.

    The story looks really amazing so far but has for has the gameplay I'm not so sure.

    Plenty of time (specially with the PAL/NTSC release in mind) for a couple PSP Go pricedrops and my eventual purchase of the machine.

    I don't really have a reason to own a PSP other than this game.

    @Griffehpoo: Other MGSs on PSP are pretty crappy and not worth buying a PSP for, in my opinion.

    MH2U is a very good game. But it's hard like hell and would easily stress you out if you are not an action-game savvy.

    @VEX: Yeah I know but I do like the smaller form factor, I always found the PSP too wide and clunky to be a really portable device that can fit in my pocket.

    On the topic of games; I'm fully aware of other great titles for the PSP but they just don't sell me on the system like this new MGS can. I played God of War and the other MGS on the PSP and neither really tickled my fancy beyond "that's neat". Actually, rather than all these action games, I'm more interested in the smaller pick up 'n play games like Prinny and all the other recent stuff.

    @panikt: What about them sucked? I'll give you MGA, but MGA 2 was excellent, if you can get past the initial shock of "OH MY GOD THIS ISN'T A NORMAL METAL GEAR GAME". And I thoroughly enjoyed Portable Ops, it's about as true to the PS2 versions as you can get on the PSP. It's also what Peace Walker is based on, and likely plays exactly the same, minus the co-op and over the shoulder views.

    @jandlecack: are you in the UK? if so HMV's price of 148.99 seems about right really - don't think it'll go lower than that for a while. Unfortunately it's only if you're in the UK as they don't ship outside for this one. Plus you'd still be in time to get three free games from their list of 17.

    @-MasterDex-: Yeah I have to agree. I'm thinking they probably went with this because it's possibly quite cheap to buy a lot of PSP 3000s in bulk.

    Some suggested the iphone/ipod touch. But those are more expensive or require a price for firmware upgrades. (despite the dev software being free)

    Also I get the feeling that if they buy a PSP dev kit that they sell for PSP Minis that might be enough to make a few simple tutorial programs. As is quite a few universities in the UK get PSPs for programming training purposes in their labs and this just seems to be convenient like that.

    Educational software on handhelds isn't a bad idea regardless of which handheld it is. Now all they need is stuff like the Rosetta program for mainstream users.

    @Portalgamer19: My local casinos don't have arcades, at least any that I'm aware. That's possibly because they're all standalone casinos with no room and board making them an unlikely family outing, at least enough to consider having an arcade. The ones in Biloxi were built with hotels, and I know one of them at least used to have an arcade. Maybe when I'm bored one day I'll make the drive to check it out.
